Abstract

We present an analysis of the entanglement characteristics in the Majumdar-Ghosh (MG) or J1J_{1}-J2J_{2} Heisenberg model. For a system consisting of up to 28 spins, there is a deviation from the scaling behaviour of the entanglement entropy characterizing the unfrustrated Heisenberg chain as soon as J2>0.25J_{2} >0.25. This feature can be used as an indicator of the dimer phase transition that occurs at J2=J20.2411J1J_{2} = J_{2}^{*} \approx 0.2411 J_{1}. Additionally, we also consider entanglement at the MG point J2=0.5J1J_{2}=0.5 J_{1}.
